A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

🚨BREAKING: The Washington Post joined the New York Times, CNN, and The Atlantic in flat-out rejecting the Pentagon’s new press restrictions—calling them a direct threat to the First Amendment.

When the press has to fight the military for free speech, you know democracy’s on the line.

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

Airports say they won’t air political footage of Noem blaming the government shutdown an on Democrats.
The video clearly violates the Hatch Act which prohibits government employees from engaging in political activities.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...
